First housing with two connector ports selectively connected to electrical connector on second housing

Abstract

A connector device is provided, including a first housing, a circuit assembly, a second housing, and a connector. The circuit assembly is disposed on the first housing, and has a first connecting port and a second connecting port. The second housing is detachably engaged with the first housing. The connector is disposed on the second housing, and has an opening and a terminal. When the first housing is engaged with the second housing and the opening faces the first direction, the terminal is electrically connected to the first connecting port. When the first housing is engaged with the second housing and the opening faces the second direction, the terminal is electrically connected to the second connecting port. The first direction is different from the second direction.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A connector device, comprising:
 a first housing; 
 a circuit assembly, disposed on the first housing, and having a first connecting port and a second connecting port; 
 a second housing, detachably engaged with the first housing; and 
 a connector, disposed on the second housing, and having an opening and a terminal, wherein when the first housing and the second housing are engaged and the opening faces a first direction, the terminal is electrically connected to the first connecting port, wherein when the first housing and the second housing are engaged and the opening faces a second direction, the terminal is electrically connected to the second connecting port, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. 
 
     
     
       2. The connector device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first connecting port and the second connecting port are separately arranged on the first housing. 
     
     
       3. The connector device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second housing has a first surface and a bottom surface connected to the first surface, the opening is disposed on the first surface, and the terminal is disposed on the bottom surface. 
     
     
       4. The connector device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the second housing further comprises a second surface, the second surface is connected to the bottom surface and opposite to the first surface, and the terminal is adjacent to the second surface. 
     
     
       5. The connector device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first housing has a recess, and when the first housing and the second housing are engaged, the second housing is accommodated in the recess. 
     
     
       6. The connector device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first housing has an upper surface, the second housing has a top surface, and when the first housing and the second housing are engaged, the upper surface is aligned with the top surface. 
     
     
       7. The connector device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first housing has a lateral surface, and when the first housing and the second housing are engaged, the connector does not protrude from the lateral surface. 
     
     
       8. The connector device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first housing has a guiding pillar, and the second housing has a first guiding slot and a second guiding slot, wherein when the first housing and the second housing are engaged and the opening faces the first direction, the guiding pillar enters the first guiding slot, wherein when the first housing and the second housing are engaged and the opening faces the second direction, the guiding pillar enters the second guiding slot.
